Thanks for watching!

Ray Sefo: "That is very true."

Sefo said Spong's opponent has yet to be announced, but he's suggested the former K-1 standout up could fight former UFC fighter, James McSweeney in a light heavyweight bout. "I think that fight, if it happens, it's going to be fight of the night," Sefo said.

There was no information revealed as to what had happened with Titan FC and Spong's announcement that he'd make his MMA debut on November 2nd.

The WSOF's first event is set to take place at the PH Live in the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on November 3rd and features former WEC Bantamweight Champion Miguel Torres in the main event. Other well known MMA fighters like Rolles Gracie and Gregor Gracie have also been signed with the new Vegas promotion that will have it's debut aired live on NBC Sports Network.
